Broomfield, CO | Four valves for a two-ended pipe? I don't understand how these ISP's are saying Google is using their pipes to send content to me. Last time I checked, it was ME that typed www.google.com into my address bar and requested the info. On the connection that I am paying for. Google doesn't just send that stuff to me out of the blue. So am I supposed to pay to send my request, but not expect to get any reply unless Google pays additional money? What about Google's end of the pipe? The provider charges Google to upload the content I asked for, but will they want to charge ME additional funds to pass my initial request on to Google in the first place?
I sure hope nobody tells these folks that they should be charging more to transmit 1's than 0's. After all, a transistor draws more current in the ON state then when it's OFF, so it only makes sense to charge more for the 1's. |
